> Key: CAMEL-1652
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-1652
> Project: Apache Camel
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: camel-core
> Affects Versions: 2.0-M1
> Reporter: Christian Schneider
> Assignee: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0-M2

> Attachments: camel-core.patch

> See http://www.nabble.com/convertBodyTo-heap-problem-to23743181.html
> When using a file endpoint with sorting as start of a route then the files
> are processed in a batch. In the current implementation this means a List of
> exchanges is created and given to the batch processing. The list is then
> traversed and each exchange is processed. This means the list references all
> exchanges during the whole batch processing. So none of the exchanges can be
> collected by the garbage collector till the whole batch is fully processed.
> The problem really becomes bad when the exchanges are large. For example if
> you use convertBodyTo(String.class) and the files are large. If you have 100
> files with 10 MB each then camel will consume 1 GB of heap. What is even
> worse is that it seems the processing simply stops when the heap is full.
> I have written a small test that shows the problem and a patch that corrects
> this problem. I hope this gets into 2.0-M2 as this is a quite serious bug.
